对于老成员们,五月31号大概只是进行了一次普通的训练和酒会。而对于初学者们来说,他们面对了他们剑道生涯中第一次对于他们的剑道水平正儿八经的测试!
The 31st of May was probably like any other training and pub night to the seniors. The beginners on the other hand faced their first real test on their Kendo performance!
这次测试的目的是为了检验每个人的进度,并且在购买自己的护具之前,先给自己设定一个目标去实现,来作为初学者阶段最后的里程碑!不过,测试终归是测试,所以很多人当时应该都很紧张,而酒会就是给大家在测试之后放松的一个机会。
The test was done to measure everyone’s progress, give a goal for everyone to work towards and act as a final milestone before commencing bogu orders! However, a test is a test hence some people may have been pretty nervous, so the pub night was a good opportunity to loosen up afterwards.
